The Indonesian NGO Kota Kita analysed its United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)-based methodology for climate change vulnerability assessments (CCVAs) by conducting research in three key areas: - How its CCVA process can better assess women’s climate vulnerability for urban planning efforts;- The importance of using a gender lens for resiliency planning; and- Making observations on several key gender-focused resiliency efforts in Indonesia.

The study found that women’s perspectives were lacking in city-level resiliency planning due to low female participation in CCVAs and a lack of municipal gender-disaggregated data.
